THE BIG DEAL
Was Really accomplished by Henry
Ives.

CINCINNATI, o., June 3.-Mr. Henry
s. Ives was 6esn today in reference tc
the recent deal of the Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton, and asserted
positively that the Transaction wa:
completed. He was not willing 10 say
what was the price paid, but he said
that the first installm ent was paid YES.
terday, and that the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton aud Dayton would take posses
sion tomorrow. This act would set at
rest all doubts upon the genuineness
of the deal. The trains of the Cincin-
natl, Indianapolis, st. Louis and Chi
Cago would be permitted to run over
the new acquisition for the present.
What would be done later could not
now be told. As to the Pennsylvania
Company, he should insist upon their
trains continuing as at present. They
would be urgently requested to do 80.
Mr.. Ives did not conceal the fact that
he anticipated some trouble OF some
sort with the Pennsylvania Company,
growing out OF its relations with the
newly acquired property. The gen.
eral offices OF the Vandalia road; will
be removed to this city. Mr.. Ives will
be here for a short time, bis objsc be.
ing to arrange for the plscing of the
new depot bonds of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton road.

TAR CATHEDRAL PANIC,
WHICH THREE CHILDREN AND
Two WOMEN WE'RE KILLED,
Spreads CONSERVATION and IL digna'
tiOn Among The Inhabitants
OF chihuahua.

ST. LOUIS, No., June ga srecisl
from chihuahua, Mfxico, says: Great
CONSERVATION prevails in that city on
account of the panic of Wednesday in
the cathedral, in which three chil-
dren and two women were killed and
sixty persons were injured. That
such q calamity could occur Is as
founding, as the cathedr is massive
stons structure with three broad exits
and no chairs or benches to impede
egress. The building is absolutely
are proof, built with the view tf an
swering the purpose of ratification
in time Of need. An altar of stone,
imsges, wooden support, candles and
drapery, about twenty feet high, be.
meath the dome, is the only inham.
mable material in the building. The
fire was go Insignificant that mad the
inmates not lost their pres.
ence of mind they could
all have made their escape
easily. After the candle that set FIRE
to the drspery of one Of the affairs had
fallen the flames were Immediately ex-
tinguisbe1 by one Of the attendants.
The smothering fire produced consid-
cradle smoke and vapor, at which the
inmates became frantic, in msny cases
probably the result Of superstition.
small children and kneeling old wom-
en- most absorbed in their worship,
and unappret ensive of pending dan
ger, constituted the unfortunate vic.
tims. Some Of the witnesses assert
that had it not been for several police
men closing the doors of the entrance
as soon as they heard the screams Of
the frantic crowd there would have
been no loss Of life.
